This project aims to obtain a deeper understanding of what it is like to be young today, and of how young people experience their lives. Identifying and uncovering the process of meaning constitution concerning young people's thoughts and feelings within each subjective individual, and their visions about the future as well as how they experience relations to other people in their surrounding, was achieved with a phenomenological approach. The participants were asked to write a self-report in answer to a carefully formulated question.The received reports were analysed according to the method of Meaning Constitution Analysis and Sphinx Lexica. The result showed that young people's lives are both complex and unique. They rather write about friends than family and write less about the future than we first assumed. An interesting discovery was that the majority of the participants expressed their views without hesitation and in concrete terms. Regarding the eventual effect of globalization, some young people were uncertain of where they want to live and some were happy to have friends all around the world. Concerning cultural differences, there were not that many differences except the way they wrote and expressed themselves concerning different aspects in life.
